Liang Jinshan was born in Baoshan City, Yunnan Province in 1884. In 1913, he went to Myanmar for business. Through hard work, Liang Jinshan has become a billionaire among overseas Chinese in Myanmar. In addition, his generous personality was praised by people from all walks of life, and he became a prestigious overseas Chinese leader in Myanmar. The Queen of England also admired Liang Jinshan's foresight. She once summoned him at Buckingham Palace and praised him for his "perseverance, wisdom, and foresight." Give him a pair of revolvers, a shotgun and a big silver knife. After the September 18th Incident, when the country was in crisis, Liang Jinshan took an active part in the anti-Japanese national salvation movement and led overseas Chinese living in Myanmar in their struggle against Japanese goods. In order to connect Baoshan and Longling on the east and west banks of the Nujiang River, a bridge must be built on the Nujiang River. At that time, it was estimated that it needed more than 311,111 rupees, but the government could only get about one million rupees. In order to raise funds for bridge repair, Liang Jinshan sold two firms and one company at a reduced price, hired American engineers to design the bridge, then rushed to repair the road from Lahu to Nankan, and transported the bridge-building equipment from Yangon to Lahu by train, transported huge iron pieces, thick copper cables and heavy machinery to Nankan by car, and then organized mules and horses to drag them to the bridge-building site on the Nujiang River. With the full support of Liang Jinshan, Huitong Bridge, a copper cable suspension bridge with a total length of 123 meters and a width of 6 meters, was completed, which became an important bridge on the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway, the lifeline of China's anti-Japanese war. In 1942, Huitong Bridge was blown up to stop the Japanese invasion. Hearing this news, Liang Jinshan burst into tears, but he deeply understood the righteousness and said, "Now it has to be blown up. I believe that the Huitong Bridge will be repaired after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War." In 1944, with the victory of the counter-offensive in western Yunnan, Huitong Bridge was rebuilt and once again shouldered the heavy responsibility of transporting the main artery in the Anti-Japanese War.
Liang Jinshan, the president of Myanmar Overseas Chinese Association, organized and led the "Myanmar Overseas Chinese Anti-Enemy Support Association" and the "Republic of China Myanmar Salvation Federation" to publicize the Anti-Japanese War. During the Shanghai Defence War, Liang Jinshan donated 4,111 taels of silver to General Cai Tingkai's department. After the July 7th Lugouqiao Incident, he donated 5,111 taels of silver to the troops led by General Song Zheyuan who defended Gubeikou, and donated 81 trucks and one plane to the country, and insisted on donating 111 rupiah every month until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. At that time, he bought more than half of the national salvation bonds distributed to Yunnan by the National Government. In 1942, the Japanese invaded the south on a large scale, and Myanmar was in a hurry. Liang Jinshan used 121 trucks of its own company for free, and hired 81 vehicles of other companies to rush to transport the 1 million tons of international aid materials accumulated in Yangon day and night. In order to support the Anti-Japanese War and save the country from peril, Liang Jinshan spent all his money and worked hard. The Japanese army learned that Liang Jinshan was an active anti-Japanese and an overseas Chinese leader, and listed him as the target of capture, in an attempt to conquer Myanmar and attack Yunnan by using his reputation and assets. As a result, Liang Jinshan abandoned all his possessions that he had worked hard in Myanmar for decades and returned to the motherland at night.
after the founding of new China, Liang Jinshan served as the chairman of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, and was elected to the first, second and third National People's Congress. In August, 1977, 93-year-old Liang Jinshan died in his hometown-Fangjiazhai, Pupiao, Baoshan. Liang Jin's scenery is beautiful, and there are many legends. Throughout the ages, it has attracted many famous writers to climb mountains, visit, spend the summer and recite poems in the north, and feel comfortable with the mountains. Literati in Qing Dynasty, such as Zhen Cang, Zhang Juyi and Xu Qiyu, all boarded Liang Jinshan to compose poems. For example, Zhang Juyu praised Liang Jinshan's poem, saying,
I entered the Ziyun room first,
I captured Mount Emei in the west,
I saw the double waterfalls flowing in the ten-mile emerald green,
I saw several Sichuan rings in the cold zone of one peak,
I looked up and saw the Milky Way approaching, and
I climbed into the river and rode from it. There are many historical relics in Liang Jinshan, which attract tourists.
Historical traces include: "Ghost Cave", which is a cave. According to historical records, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, peasant rebels such as Huang Yongyang and Zhang Jiuwei dug a hole to make a cottage. The cave is very long and can be exported from Changsha through the mountains. There are relics such as swords and copper coins left in the cave. In Heidou Mountain near the Ghost Cave, there is a flat land on the top of the mountain, with an area of about six acres. It is said that it was the training place of the peasant uprising army-the racetrack. At the foot of the racecourse is called Dahuai Pit. There is a cave near the pit, named Yanzi Rock, which is one of the cottages where peasant rebels are stationed. There are also stone chairs, stone beds and so on. It is said that the cave used to go straight to the "Ghost Liao Cave". However, due to long-term wind and rain erosion, the cave has already collapsed, and the existing cave is only twenty or thirty meters deep.
There is also a historical relic of Shagang Guzhou Village near the south of Liang Jinshan, which was once the county seat of Yining County (later changed to Xin 'an County) in the Northern Song Dynasty. China's "Dictionary of Geographical Names" records: "The Song Dynasty changed to Yining County. Seek waste. Therefore, it is ruled in the east of Kaiping County, Guangdong Province. It is also recorded that in the Southern Dynasties, Kaiping was called Yining County, which was under the jurisdiction of Xinhui. In the fifth year of Kaibao in the Song Dynasty (AD 972), Yining County was abolished and merged into Xinhui, and soon Kaiping was changed to Yining County. In the second year of Taiping Xingguo in Song Taizong (AD 978), Yining County was abolished and changed to Xin 'an County. This county seat of Xin 'an County was built on Shagang Guzhouwei until it was abolished in the early years of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (about 1128 AD). After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Guzhou Village in Shagang still has the ruins of the abandoned city of Xin 'an. In the east and west pits of Xiluo Mountain in the village, there are pits where water flows through the fields near the east pit, which is the east gate of Xin 'an County. The native land is called the east gate, and the fields near the west pit are the city base of Xin 'an County, so the native land is called the city base. Due to the long time, the ruins of this county have been changed into fertile fields and villages. The construction of water conservancy in 1958 and the subsequent land leveling have also abandoned the remnants of the original city foundation. A few years ago, the ancient bricks of the old city wall could be found in the tractor-ploughing station and the field side built at the original city foundation. 1. the legend of the bronze bell mark
there is a trench-like earth tomb, commonly known as the "bronze bell" (mark), on Tuonanling, east of the "Fairy Cave" in Liang Jinshan.
according to historical records, this mountain scar began in the middle of Ming dynasty and has a history of more than 491 years. Although after hundreds of years of wind and rain, this mountain scar has always existed, so people have many legends about this mountain scar.
According to legend, during the Xuanhe period of the Song Dynasty (about 1119), there were two big clocks in the ancient Boluo Temple, the male clock was cast in copper and the female clock was cast in iron. Men and women fly outside the temple every stormy night, and return to the temple to hang up at dawn. There was a monk in the temple who had a profound way of doing things. He was very dissatisfied with the behavior of these two clocks leaving the temple privately and waited for an opportunity to be punished. On a stormy night, two bells went out for a private trip. When they were playing on the mountainside in Liang Jinshan, they were tracked by Taoist monk Gao. The male bell first found out that he told the female bell to roll and escape to the southeast. The male bell rolled fast and the female bell rolled slowly, so he called out, "Brother Xiong! Wait for the male bell! " Seeing that she was about to be chased by a monk, the female clock made no choice but to roll down the foot of the mountain and all the way to Longtang Bay. Seeing that it was a vast river, there was no way to go before, and there was a pursuer behind. Unwilling to be humiliated, the female clock rolled down Longtang Bay and sank to the bottom of the river. The male bell was taken back to Boluo Temple by Daogao monk, and it was strangled with a charm, so it could not fly out of the temple again. From then on, there was only one bell in Boluo Temple. There is a deep ditch from Tuonanling to the foot of the mountain, and people think it is the trace of the copper bell rolling, so it is called "copper bell type" (mark).
This is a folk legend, which is nonsense. However, according to historical records, Tuo Nanling is the same as the bronze bell type (scar). In the Ming Dynasty, a man named Huang Xiaoyang formed a party in Tuo Nanling to fight against the feudal Ming Dynasty. He dug stones and built a tunnel-shaped trench as a city wall to resist the Ming army. After Huang Xiaoyang's death, in the late Ming Dynasty, about 1638, another man named Zhang Jiuwei made a camp in Tuonanling and reorganized Huang Xiaoyang's trenches. Since then, when the military palace Taolu and Li Cai cut the west in the late Ming Dynasty, they stayed in the camp and dragged Nanling, and rebuilt this trench. It was relatively high, but after hundreds of years of wind and rain, only a bronze bell rolled over to form a high base mark.
2. The legend of the alchemy furnace
There are various legends about the alchemy furnace. One is that Taoist Liang Jin once made an alchemy here. The other is what this article
says.
In Liang Jinshan, there is a huge stone standing on the mountainside, just like a big steel furnace, which attracts many tourists. This boulder, which people call the "blast furnace", is said to have been left by Nu Wa when she tried to make up the sky with five-color stones. It not only made up the sky with stones, but also saved lives with alchemy.
There is a magical legend about the blast furnace. That was after The goddess patching the sky. Legend has it that a long time ago, at the foot of the mountain in the east of Liang Jinshan, there was a village where men plowed and women wove, and people lived a carefree and well-fed life. Suddenly one year, people got a fluent plague, vomiting and diarrhea, and many treatments were ineffective. Many people died of illness and the whole village was about to suffer. Suddenly, someone remembered that The goddess patching the sky's "blast furnace" was still in the East Haikou, saying that as long as it was found, people could be saved by putting colorful stones from Liang Jinshan into the furnace and refining the elixir. As he spoke, a burly, mighty and handsome boy stepped out of the crowd and volunteered to look for an alchemist. This boy is named Erlong. When everyone heard that Erlong was going to find an alchemist, they were moved, so they prepared dry food for him and packed their bags. The next day, Erlong carried his luggage, shotgun and a sword and kept heading east. When he went to the valley where the grotesque rocks pierced the sky and the cliffs, he saw a giant snake lying across the valley, with a head like a hill and a waist so thick that four people could not encircle it, with its mouth wide open and its tongue licking like a torch. As soon as it saw Erlong, it flew at it. Erlong raised his shotgun and fired several rounds, but the serpent still approached him. Erlong drew his sword again and fought with the serpent. The Erlong, who was both wise and brave, finally stabbed the vital part of the serpent, and the serpent was killed on the spot. Erlong walked out of the valley and continued to March to the east. Not far away, I came to a forest with towering old trees that covered the sky. There was a loud roar, and a lion with its teeth bared jumped out. Just at that moment, Erlong took a sword and chopped at the lion, only to see people jumping up and down, one on the left and one on the right, and the ground shook. After more than ten rounds of hard work, the lion was finally cut off by two dragons and one sword and fell like a hill. Erlong went through all kinds of hardships and finally found the "blast furnace" on the eastern island.
The "blast furnace" was found, and people rushed to tell each other, all smiling. Together, we set up an alchemy furnace, put colorful stones in it, and refined it for six days and six nights, thus refining the elixir. People ate the elixir, and all the patients in the village recovered at once.
Up to now, the blast furnace is still on Liang Jinshan's waist, and there are Snake Mountain and Lion Mountain not far to the east of Liang Jinshan, making it a good place for people to visit. In addition to the above-mentioned historical sites, there are many beautiful images in Liang Jinshan, such as the fairy pulling off the net, the beautiful woman's red dress and so on.
Liang Jinshan, which is blessed with marvelous peaks, has been planned as a key tourist area in Kaiping after the reform and opening up. With the attention and support of the county (city) and town governments, the scenic spots in the area have been comprehensively planned, and special funds have been allocated to maintain and add necessary facilities to the scenic spots. Many pavilions and pavilions have been built, cement roads around the mountains and roads leading to the scenic spots have been built, and what you see and hear are really like a poet. There is also a children's playground, swimming pool, karaoke hall and restaurant in the park. The beauty of scenic spots and thoughtful service industry add color to Liang Jinshan tourist area and make Kaiping, Qiaoxiang, more charming.
